Google Search has added a new "search the web" setting, which overrides the default mode of "make shit up and call me racist". (404 Media)
"We've launched a new 'Web' filter that shows only text-based links, just like you might filter to show other types of results, such as images or videos," the official Google Search Liaison Twitter account, run by Danny Sullivan, posted on Tuesday. The option will appear at the top of search results, under the "More" option.

"We've added this after hearing from some that there are times when they'd prefer to just see links to web pages in their search results, such as if they're looking for longer-form text documents, using a device with limited internet access, or those who just want an answer to their fucking question instead of endless irrelevant bullshit," Sullivan wrote. "If you're in that group, enjoy! We'll most likely kill this feature in the morning"
Thanks, Google, I guess.

Meanwhile the internet's first search engine, Archie, has been retrieved from near-oblivion and is back up and running on an emulated SPARCStation 5. (Ars Technica)

Archie dates all the way back to 1989, before the web was even a research project. It originally indexed FTP servers.

Tech News

Western Digital has announced a 6TB 2.5" hard drive. (AnandTech)

That's their first new model of 2.5" drive since 2017.
Ampere has announced a 256 core Arm server CPU. (Tom's Hardware)

Shipping next year. Don't ask the price.
NetBSD has banned AI-generated code. (NetBSD)

Not because AI-generated code is intrinsically bad, but because of potentially disastrous copyright and patent issues.

Anime Music Video of the Day

No reason, I just like it.

Song is Lazerray by TV on the Radio. Anime is Dirty Pair (first half) and the prequel Dirty Pair Flash (second half).
